Yesterday I saw a truck that had religous Calvin stickers on it. This is the most absurd version of these stickers I’ve seen yet. I also found somebody else who saw Calvin pissing on “satan”. America’s trashy trends extend to everything.

Yesterday I drove to Grands Rapids to go music shopping. This is the sad state of affairs in Kalamazoo. I’m never satisfied with Music Express, and don’t want to just order everything off insound. By way of example, I wouldn’t have bought any of the records I got yesterday if I had to consciously considered them and buy them off the internet. They came about because I stumbled on to them.
Another thing about real music stores is that you can more often than not listen to anything you want before you buy it. I think of it like freely available MP3’s for everything I’m interested in. I know that’s a backwards analogy, but that’s how I tend to think. Like the time I called note passing a ghetto email.

Driving to Grand Rapids was good though, since I always do my best thinking when driving alone. I came up with some ideas for Dan’s BFA show poster, which I need to get to work on soon.

I’m looking forward to seeing Pele tomorrow in Ann Arbor. The last time that I saw them the drummer was out of control entertaining. He was making crazy faces and using everything around him as percussion. I hope that’s how they always are. Even those (especially those) that think instrumental music is boring should check out Pele.
